> I consider it to be closer to common sense than a "bold statement". I experienced a set of symptoms that makes it harder for me to stay focused than most people. It would make it difficult to do my job, as it was to succeed in school before I was medicated (it's no surprise to me that I flunked out of high school at first). Adderall ameliorates these symptoms drastically without major side effects. I don't seem to be addicted as I frequently (if briefly) stop taking it for reasons of avoiding tolerance. Please explain to me what's wrong about this? Should I stop taking Adderall, to hell with the reduced quality of life, because someone on the internet says a chemical substance meant to treat my symptoms is not "medicine"?
